    I have built custom strings for my local pro shops since 1991 and enjoy seeing how you do it today. The materials have improved and more tooling is available for excellent string jigs. The process is like building your own custom arrows ... takes more time but you totally understand how to make your archery more consistent.

    I had a brand new Triax when they first came out. I shot it a lot and it ate through 2 strings in less than a year right at the peep sight! On the second string I had them put in a different peep sight thinking that was the problem, still ate up the string. I never moved it around! I loved the Triax but I sold it after that! I think they just have too much pressure on the string being that short. I never had that problem with the longer axle to axle models! Has anyone else had this problem with the 27in and 28in bows from Mathews?
